Mikhail Somov returns from its last Arctic voyage of the year

The research and expedition vessel Mikhail Somov has returned to Arkhangelsk after its last Arctic voyage of the current navigation season, said the press service of the Northern Inter-Regional Territorial Board for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Sevhydromet).

On Sunday, the Mikhail Somov docked at the Arkhangelsk-based port of Bakaritsa  at 4:00 a.m. Moscow time.

“The trip lasted just over a month. The vessel sailed from Arkhangelsk to Dikson and back. Vitally important consignments were delivered to 18 meteorological stations on the coast and islands of the White and Barents Seas and to some stations in the Kara Sea. About 700 tons of general cargo, including fuel, food, clothing, tools, instruments and construction materials, have been delivered to meteorologists,” the press service said.
